  • An engaging look at disability through theological, legal and historical lenses that helps one grasps the over-arching narrative of disability. In order to change the story, we must know the story.

  • Stories founded in Matthew's work with 99 Balloons ground a narrative that challenges one to move from echo chambers into a community that embraces the other.

  • Helping churches and Christians see ourselves and others in an upside-down kingdom way instead of the way passed on to us from the world we inhabit.

  • an invitation of belonging where true beauty is found

    Matt carries the authority of his family's personal story into an invitation of belonging where true beauty is found.

  • soul-deep enthusiasm and sharp wit converge in his highly listenable and deeply valuable messages

    Matt's lived experiences, soul-deep enthusiasm, and sharp wit converge in his highly listenable and deeply valuable messages. We've relied on Matt in so many roles—from hosting to teaching to interviewing—and in a wide array of audiences—volunteers, people experiencing disabilities, adults, teens, and more. He's delivered in all of them. Because Matt has authentically practiced what he preaches, we wholeheartedly trust him to help form the ideologies and theologies of our Hope Heals community. We are so fortunate to have Matt as a long-haul partner.

  • People aren't staring at their phones or their watches when Matt is speaking.

    Matt is an authentic and engaging communicator. Whether the group is 4 people or 4,000, Matt is the same person. He speaks in a way that challenges preconceived notions about how an audience is seeing or perceiving the world but does it in such a way that you think, "I wouldn't mind hanging out with this guy. He seems real." If you want an audience to confront ideas and questions that hover around the edges of our mind (or should be hovering), Matt is great at pulling those out and helping a group look full on at those topics.

  • an advocate for inclusion in every facet of society

    Matt Mooney speaks and writes about disability as a parent and an advocate for inclusion in every facet of society. His messages are filled with the insight and wisdom that comes from ministering with those who have disabilities rather than to them. Matt presents questions for listeners to ponder and stories that lead to changed paradigms and compassionate action. He makes listeners laugh often, cry when they least expect it, and wish he would speak a little longer. What could be better than that?
